This invention, generally stated, relates to a building structure and has more especial relation to a wall, ceiling, construction. An object of the present invention is to provide plaster boards in connection with metal beams or girders so that metal clips of special design may be employed for securing the plaster boards in place.

' pair ofchannel irons.

Another object of the present invention. is

to so construct the plaster boards that relatively tight joints are effected between ad jacent plaster boards when the metal clips are positioned.

Another object is to provide a special form of plaster board having end portions arranged to straddle a pair of beams, or

girders, to provide a sound deadening partition between adjacent beamsor girders.

A further object resides in the provision of a clip for holding plaster boards in place,

which clip is provided'with a slot and oppositely turned prongs whereby the clipmay be fitted to a channel iron to retain its position Without the employmentof fastening mediums.

Other and further" objects reside in the provision of general details of construction and in the arrangement, combination and connection of parts for attaining the results sought by the foregoing'objeots. V

The invention consists of the novel construction hereinafter described and finally claimed.

and partition Y of-a The nature, characteristic features andscope of the invention will be more fully the channel firo 2 1 i em a eas 1929. Serial No. 369,537.

Between adjacent channel irons or beams 1, I arrange plaster boards 13 which are thicker than the boards 2 and are'cut out at their opposite ends to engage around the channel irons, as best seen in Fig. '1. Each plaster board 13-1sfprovided I ith a pair of openings 14 through which Wires 15 may be introduced and tied around the channel irons 1 to secure the plaster boards 13 in place. These plaster boards '13 assist in rendering the entire structure more sound resisting. a
